Primer

I removed wallpaper from a wall, used TSP to get all the leftover paste off, repaired the imperfections, now I can't see most of the repairs as the wall is painted with a flat light coloured paint. I need to prime the filled spots, should I just go ahead and do the whole wall, and what should I use? I prefer Benjamin Moore paint, if you have any suggestions of a product. Appreciate any help at all.

I would prime the entire wall. I like Zinsser 123 for a primer.

If you are set on Ben Moore, then Fresh Start is a good product.

I am in the process of removing paint from the ceramic tile in my kitchen. There seems to be layers and layers of paint. Has anyone ever heard of or used a product called "Peelaway" for removing paint? I've seen their website, and most of the jobs look like industrial ventures. I'm just wondering if it's safe for my kitchen walls.Read More
